Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Given that modern industry is driven by economic and environmental factors, it faces a pressing need to improve efficiency, safety, and reliability. Despite the constant development of new materials, advanced high-strength steels, aluminum alloys, and magnesium remain key materials in this competitive scenario, mainly due to their balanced performance, especially low costs, excellent strength-to-weight ratio, high strength corrosion, good machinability, and competitive processing costs.
Therefore, I am pleased to invite you to submit manuscripts to the Special Issue “Surface Modification of Magnesium, Aluminum Alloys, and Steel”.
This Special Issue aims to encourage the dissemination of high-quality research on the relationship between mechanical properties and processing methods, microstructural properties, and chemical composition. The thematic area is wide and aims to include interesting and innovative research that contributes to the development of this interdisciplinary field of scientific research.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Coatings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
